A New England Trait.

About fifty years ago there lived on a
New Hampshire farm a man by the name
of Seserence, rather poorly off in this
worlds goods, and commonly set down
by his neighbors as rather unsocial and
disobliging. His nearest neighbor, Mr.
Davis, who lived about mile beyond,
was man well-to-do." and in every
way quite the opposite of'Severence. 1t
often happened that Davis would be go
ing 70 the village a few miles distant, and
Severence frequently shared seat with
him, having no good team of his own.
After getting through with their trad
ing" and getting their weekly papers,
they woulg start for home, and Davis al
ways found Neighhor Severence very un-
communicative, and rather poor COM
panion for cold winters night drive,
never entering into conversation, and
usually answering in monosyllabIes when
spoken 10. More than this, Davis al ways
noticed that upon leaving Severence for
the night, he would never respond in
any manner upon his bidding him good
night. one evening, as Severence tum-
bled out into the drifts opposite the lane
which led to his house. Mr.. Davis babe
him good night as usual. and as he re-
ceiyed no reply as he drove along thought
possibly he did not make himself heard.
50 he shouted again, at the top of his
voice, :" Good night, NJ. Seeeraice !" and
III inpatient tones there came floating
back on the winters blast, " hear We |
